6.Tenochtitlan

Legend—and bits and pieces of historical fact—indicates that Tenochtitlan was once the world’s biggest and most beautiful city. The capital of the great Aztec empire, which eventually morphed into today's Mexico City, had about 300,000 inhabitants when Spanish conquistadors arrived in 1521. Despite being built atop a lake according to the wishes of an important Aztec deity, ancient engineers made Tenochtitlan as efficient as any city in Europe with a complex system of causeways and canals.

特诺奇蒂特兰

各种传说和历史资料都表明特诺奇蒂特兰曾是世界上最大、最美丽的城市。特诺奇蒂特兰在历史上曾是伟大的阿兹特克帝国（即现在的墨西哥城）的首都。1521年西班牙征服者到达该地时，这里曾有大约30万人口。尽管传说特诺奇蒂特兰建于一座湖泊之上是因为一位重要的阿兹特克神灵的祝福，古代建筑师为该城建造的复杂的堤道和排水系统让它和欧洲任何一座先进的城市媲美。
